General handling<br />
- In the mitre saw mode, the sawhead is automatically locked in the<br />
upper “park”-position.<br />
- Squeezing the head lock release lever will unlock the sawhead.<br />
- Never seek to prevent the lower guard returning to its park position<br />
when the cut is completed.<br />
- The minimum length of offcut material is 10 mm.<br />
- When cutting short material (min. 190 mm to the left or the right of the<br />
blade), the use of the optional material clamp is recommended.<br />
- When cutting UPVC sections, a supporting piece made out of timber<br />
with a complementary profile should be placed beneath the material<br />
being cut to provide the correct level of support.<br />
Vertical straight cross cut (fig. S)<br />
• Set the rotating table to 0° and make sure that the locating plunger is<br />
engaged.<br />
• Pull down the rotating table clamping knob.<br />
• Place the wood to be cut against the fence. Take hold of the control<br />
handle and press in the head lock release lever.<br />
• Switch the machine on.<br />
• Allow the blade to cut freely. Do not force.<br />
• When the cut is completed, raise the sawhead to its rest position and<br />
press the red stop button.<br />
Do not allow the sawhead to jump back unaided to prevent<br />
damage.<br />
Mitre cuts (fig. T)<br />
• Set the required mitre angle.<br />
• Ensure that the rotating table clamp is tightly secured.<br />
• Ensure that the depth stop limiter is correctly set to prevent the blade<br />
cutting the table if the angle is not 45°.<br />
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.<br />
Bevel cuts (fig. U)<br />
• Release the bevel clamp handle (24) and tilt the head to the angle<br />
required.<br />
• Tighten the bevel clamp handle.<br />
• Proceed as for a vertical straight cross-cut.<br />
Compound mitre<br />
This cut is a combination of a mitre and a bevel cut.<br />
The limitations are 45° mitre/30° bevel. Do not exceed these limits.<br />
• Set the bevel angle and subsequently set the mitre angle.<br />
<strong>Saw</strong>ing in the bench mode<br />
• Always ensure that the riving knife and blade guard are correctly aligned.<br />
Ripping (fig. V)<br />
• Set the blade to the correct height.<br />
• The correct blade position is to have the tips of three teeth above the<br />
top surface of the wood.<br />
• Mount the parallel fence using either the 10 mm or the 62 mm profile.<br />
The piece of wood between the fence and the blade is the retained piece.<br />
• Switch the machine on.<br />
• Slowly feed the timber underneath the front of the upper blade guard,<br />
keeping it firmly pressed against the fence. Allow the teeth to cut and<br />
do not force the timber through the blade. The blade speed should be<br />
kept constant.<br />
Always use a push stick.<br />
• When the cut is finished, switch off by pressing the red stop button.<br />
Bevel cuts (fig. W)<br />
• Release the bevel clamp handle and set the blade to the required angle.<br />
• In order to prevent material jamming between the blade and the fence,<br />
position the fence to the left of the blade.<br />
• Proceed as for vertical ripping.<br />
Mitre cuts (fig. X1 - X3)<br />
• To adjust the mitre fence, loosen the stop screw locknut (90) and<br />
screw the stop (91) in or out until the mitre pointer reads 0° (fig. X1).<br />
• Set the blade height and angle.<br />
• Insert the slide bar (92) of the mitre fence into the groove (93) provided<br />
in the left-hand side of the table (fig. X2).<br />
• Loosen the mitre locking knob (94) and rotate the fence to set the<br />
scale to the required angle (fig. X3).<br />
• Tighten the mitre locking knob (94).<br />
• Place the workpiece against the flat surface of the mitre fence.<br />
Switch on and, holding the workpiece firmly, slide the fence along the<br />
groove to take the workpiece into the blade. When the cut is<br />
completed, switch off immediately.<br />
Fence positions, saw bench mode (fig. Y)<br />
- For ripping thin materials, use the 10 mm profile of the dual height<br />
parallel fence and position the fence opposite the front edge of the<br />
riving knife.<br />
- For ripping thicker materials, use the 62 mm profile of the dual height<br />
parallel fence.<br />
- For cross-cutting narrow and short workpieces (fig. Y):<br />
• Adjust the parallel fence with the low profile facing the blade and<br />
install the rear of the fence in line with the leading edge of the blade.<br />
• Set the workpiece against the mitre fence (at 0° or 90°) and push the<br />
mitre fence to make the cut.<br />
• To prevent small offcut pieces fouling against the blade, prepare a<br />
tapered length of timber and clamp it on the rear edge of the<br />
worktable close enough to the right-hand side of the blade so that<br />
successive offcuts feed automatically to the right.<br />
- For ripping narrow (< 120 mm) and long workpieces:<br />
• Place the fence in rearmost position to maintain accuracy during<br />
long cuts.<br />
• Push the workpiece with both hands (one on each side of the blade).<br />
• Use a push stick when close to the blade.<br />
• Support long workpieces at the outfeed side.<br />
- For ripping wider (>120 mm) workpieces:<br />
• Adjust the fence forward as in figure Y if the material being cut tends<br />
to jam between the blade or the riving knife and the fence.<br />
Optional accessories<br />
Prior to assembling any accessories always unplug the machine.<br />
Dust extraction kit (fig. A1, A2 & A8)<br />
This machine is provided with three dust extraction points for use in each<br />
mode.<br />
• Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in<br />
accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission.<br />
Connecting - mitre saw position<br />
• Connect one hose to the under-table guard.<br />
• Connect one hose to the small diameter outlet (11) and one to the<br />
large diameter outlet (23) using the corresponding spouts.<br />
• Connect the hoses to the 3-way connector.<br />
• Connect the single outlet of the 3-way connector to the hose from the<br />
dust extractor.<br />
